After you file

Best explanation I've gotten yet, finally it makes sense! Thank you. 

 

 

So few more questions... Since the IRS is not handling paper tax files currently due to Covid and there is no way to amend online completely- Is our one & only option to just wait for all this to be over for them to start processing paper files again?

 

I'm mostly concerned because I was relying on the stimulus check for bills. Now that I am aware I have been filing my taxes wrong, it is added stress not knowing how this is all going to be fixed. 

 

Will they receive the amendment or will I have to re-mail one after this mess is over?
